Embarrassing Sound
The sound of boys being caned in the Annul High School’s first assistant’s office is so embarrassingly audible in the nearby office of the headmaster (Mr W. J. A. Brittenden) that he has asked the school’s board of governors to approve the cost of sound-proofing his study. “It is especially embarrassing when I have parents in my office. It makes mothers wince,”' Mr Brittenden told the board yesterday. The walls of his study were very thin and to prevent conversations being overheard, he had to keep a lovre window, above his door, closed, said Mr Brittenden.
